Wendy Williams, the iconic media personality, has resurfaced in public for the first time in more than a year, sparking excitement among her fans and followers. On Monday, August 19th, Wendy was spotted at a holistic store in Newark, New Jersey, marking a significant moment for the 60-year-old who has been largely out of the public eye due to health issues.
Accompanied by her son, Kevin Hunt Jr., whom she shares with her ex-husband Kevin Hunter, Wendy visited Bolingo Balance, a holistic store owned by Victor Bowman, son of the renowned herbalist Alfredo “Dr. Sebi” Bowman. The store is known for its commitment to natural healing and wellness, a focus that might have drawn Wendy during her visit.
An employee at Bolingo Balance shared insights into Wendy’s visit, describing her as “sharp, upbeat, and aware.” The employee added that Wendy was “very bubbly” and engaged with the staff, though she relied on her son to explain more about the holistic practices offered at the store. “She talked about circulation improvement but didn’t want to get into too much detail on their first meeting and plans to come back in the near future,” the employee noted.
Victor Bowman, clearly excited about the visit, shared a heartfelt post on Facebook, expressing his admiration for Wendy. He posted a photo of the two of them together, captioned, “Wendy Williams come to my store. Much love Queen.” The store’s Instagram account also celebrated the visit, posting photos of Wendy and her son with the caption, “Much love to Wendy Williams and her son.”
This appearance is particularly notable as it marks Wendy’s first public outing since March 2023, when she was last seen returning to her New York City apartment. Her absence from the public eye has been attributed to a series of health challenges, including Graves’ disease, lymphedema, and struggles with alcohol abuse. Wendy’s last appearance on her iconic show, “The Wendy Williams Show,” was in July 2021.
Wendy’s visit to Bolingo Balance has given fans a glimpse of her resilience and her ongoing journey toward better health. Her fans remain hopeful for her recovery and are eager to see more of her in the near future.
